Read the excerpt from "Indian Emigration.”Our political Government keeps pace by gradual changes, as we imbibe new principles of legislation, with our domestic advancement. Our population is not on the wane in consequence of our situation amidst the whites, but is rapidly increasing—the implements of husbandry have been substituted for the bow and quiver.

Read the excerpt from "Indian Emigration.”[W]hen the game becomes scarce, by being killed up, or driven farther westward, how will [other Indigenous people] support themselves? penetrate farther into the forest, or turn their attention to agricultural pursuits? suppose the latter, and where will they have sufficiency of good lands for cultivation?

Read the excerpt from "Keynote Address.”The success of our economic system has freed [young people of today] in ever-increasing numbers from the tragedies of premature mortality and early labor.

West of that country is one vast prairie, suitable only for the hunter and the savage; and north of that, is too cold for us. I repeat it, as well from my geographical knowledge as my travels, there is none.
Read the excerpt from "For the Cherokee Phoenix.”But here I pause, in melancholy suspense, in view of the storm that is gathering over our beloved country, the Ottoman-like policy, that threatens to entomb our laws, our most sacred rights and privileges in oblivion, and to put an end to our national existence.
